NFL 2012 Week 6 |OT| The C-Word Is For Lovers

Which begs the question... why do defense only go for strips when they are down big?

I think the Bears, and the Ravens (of a few years back) are the only two team I can think of that always go for the strip.


I'm assuming the safe play is to tackle. Stripping increases the chances of a broken tackle? That's what I would guess at least.
 
One of these days I'll get into College Football. Not sure how some people are so fanatical about a college team where they never attended....

Rambling over. Go Broncos.

well, Im a fan of University of Louisiana Lafayette because I went to school there.
I'm a fan of LSU because my whole family went there and I was born in Baton Rouge.

Makes perfect sense. What confuses me is my friend who went to a private college in Southern Illinois rooting for Michigan like his father built the damn place.

More penatlies for Broncos. Haven't seen one of those for a while.
 
Broncos gonna make this a game.

Yup, it's what Lovie preaches in practice. But he wants the defender to secure the tackle first and then go for the strip
